We have had such here many times, excellent. Recently we had breakfast and it was super.For breakfast, try the Tatti pancakes, its a big portion, built for two. Great omelet also. A french flair, so go with it and try something new. Really good crepes too.

Driving back to LA was in the mood for French fare. Having seen some decent reviews about the place took a little detour and voila, here we are. The place reminds one of Paris of the 70's. Indifferent and slow service, no attempt to attract customers. However the comparison with Paris stops here. The poached eggs and the croissant with eggs had no resemblance whatsoever with similar fare that I had in Paris less than a year ago. Croissant was slightly soggy and the poached eggs somewhat overdone.Coffee was meh. If you are in Dana Point I am sure you can do worse, but definitely not worth a detour.

Hi Allan, we are disappointed that your detour to our long time established Café that have pleased so many did not match your expectation. It also seems that you do not expect much from the Dana Point restaurants which are just as good as many of cities around us?

Very nice breakfast spot in Dana Point. The service and food was very good. Nice outdoor seating. The veggie crepe was wonderful.

I had the Omelétte aux Champignons. Was surprised at how sweet the onions and mushrooms tasted. It must have been a tough morning for the hot line cook as the eggs were still runny in places, the basil hollandaise had bits of scrambled eggs (too much heat), and the Brie lacked depth of flavor. The potatoes, on the other hand were crusty on the outside and soft in the middle. Oh yes, the coffee was good, and server attentive without hovering.

Thank you Craig for taking the time to review us and we appreciate your compliments and concerns. To explain to the TripAdvisor readers why you were surprised by the sweetness of the Champignon Omelet which is actually our most popular one, is that you probably missed the full description of it. It includes "caramelized" Crimini mushrooms and makes it a very surprising omelet in a good way. Our Hollandaise is made from scratch and not out of a can like most places, it includes egg yolk, melted butter, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper and "Crème Fraiche" which can make it a little grainy but very smooth at the same time. I hope that answers your questions and again, thank you for your great reviewHave a wonderful week

We stopped here for lunch on a Saturday and got a sandwich and a salad. Both were ok but the service was well below average. Customers were being rushed off and none of the servers were friendly.

Thank you Alexandra for your review. We are sorry you didn't elaborate more about the "ok" sandwich and salad that you tried to help us improve if we have to. Also, not sure about "customers being rushed off"? something that is not part of our restaurant custom and that we have never heard of in the past 25 yearsHave a great week
